A man wanted in Florida for attempted murder and burglary was arrested in Bethlehem Tuesday.

According to court records, Manuel Feliciano, 25, of Orlando, was taken into custody around 3:15 p.m. at his girlfriend's home on the 1200 block of Marvine Street.

The Pennsylvania State Police, acting on behalf of the U.S. Marshal's violent fugitive task force, had gotten word from authorities in Orange County, Florida that he'd be at the address.

Court records say Feliciano is wanted on attempted murder, battery, and burglary charges from August 31.

He was arraigned before District Judge Richard Yetter in Wilson, and will be extradited back to Florida.
